Cubot King Kong Review

Although the design trend of mobile phones is slim and big of screen, under a few special circumstances, we also need more special and professional mobile phone products, such as rugged phones. In recent years, outdoor enthusiasts continue to increase, hiking in the wild has become a universal way to travel, it’s undoubtedly a test for communication tools. No matter go crossing the river, climb with high altitude, across the desert, if you don’t take phones with three anti-function, it is really difficult to continue working in such an environment.

Today I bring the first three anti-cell phone King kong launched by Cubot company, designed for outdoor traveling and with a strong waterproof IP68 level, 1.5 m shock resistant, while carrying MTK6580 quad-core processor, original Android 7.0 system. Smart and professional three anti-fusion, is such a product able to meet the needs of an outdoor traveler?

Designs & details

The first time you see Cubot King Kong, you’re sure to be shocked by his appearance. The front of the phone are two yellow plastic tape, not the same with the other brands with screws, but using Germany Bayer soft plastic injection molding process shell, a masculine texture showing out. in the middle part is the metal mesh-like handset, the left and right side is respectively the breathing light and front camera.

The power button and volume keys are designed on the right of the body, the black round button is the boot button, the long bar is the upper and lower volume button. Both buttons are waterproof.

The 3.5mm headphone jack on the top of the body and USB charging data interface are sealed with waterproof rubber cover. If you need to recharge or listen to songs, you need to manually open the seal.

Back of the body , we can see, in order to be strong to set a lot of screws. One of the two big screws above is fixing the SIM card slot. In other words, if we want to insert the calling card, we also need to use a screwdriver to remove the two screws.

The back of the body is the speaker on the back with strict waterproof protection. At the bottom ,there isn’t any button or interface, looking simple.

Concise UI with native system

All Cubot models are native Google system. I’ve done tests on models such as Cubot X18, Cubot Magic and Cubot Note Plus and found their system really having no ads. Cubot is definitely a conscientious Chinese company, it has no preinstalled third-party APP or any sponsorship fee, so that the customers will use with the most pure system.

Shooting ability

Cubot King Kong, like the other three-defense handsets, the front camera is 8MP and back camera is 13MP. If we don’t see this phone as entertainment phone , it’ll be enough for daily shooting. Let’s take a look at the sample photos taken by Cubot King Kong:

Strong Protection

As mentioned earlier, Cubot King Kong supports military-grade IP68 waterproofing. At the same time, after the metal protective strip and the special design of the body, you can ensure that it’s free to fall down when the distance 1.2 meters to the ground. Moreover, for the dust proof level, it’s 7. which can effectively isolate 99.9% of the dust.

When I was free at home, I tested the phone’s waterproofing ability. Before, I’ve tested Sony’s z3 with IP68 waterproof, but not rush hardly towards it . Because I heard that such a punch would plug the protection out of the gap, the phone would be watered. But this time, the author opened the tap to the maximum and the water directly rushed King Kong. Look at the appearance, no pressure.

High quality hard screen to prevent scratches

CUBOT King Kong uses 5-inch LONGJI hard glass screen, It’s not easy broken screen, it’s not easy to be faulty or get scratched.

Professional GPS navigation

In outdoors, a reliable GPS navigation is very important. The CUBOT King Kong incorporates an advanced GPS module that allows you to tell directions in the complex wide environment.

The geomagnetic sensor, Compass

Since King kong has pre installed magnetic sensor, with Compass APP, we won’t get lost anywhere or anytime.

Powerful battery

Cubot King Kong uses a 4400mAh high-density battery, with 720P screen and quad-core processor, its battery life is awesome. In the wild environment, you don’t have to worry about no battery.

Another rugged phone! To be water-proof looks like a trend in the phone
industry. Big brand like iPhone 7, Samsung S7, but they are either of
poor waterproof performance or expensive. In terms of water-proof and
drop-proof, I love NOMU as much as ever, a truly professional rugged
phone maker. (I recently bought its T18, and I’m more than satisfied.)
For King Kong, I don’t know, we’ll see.

Only 4400mAh battery, that’s a low-level configuration for a rugged
phone. Professional rugged phone brands like NOMU, all are 5000mAh or
above, and with power-saving function. A rugged phone should be like
that for big battery is so important for a outdoor use.
